Abstract
Let be an integer valued random variable satisfying and , and consider a self-interacting random walk that behaves like a simple symmetric random walk with the exception that on the first visit to any integer the size of the next step is an independent random variable with the same distribution as . We show that this self-interacting random walk is recurrent if and transient if . This is a special case of our main result which concerns the recurrence and transience of excited random walks (or cookie random walks) with non-nearest neighbor jumps.
